ONEY MARKE T AND COMIXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market this morning has been in somewhat of a perturbed state, owing to the non delivery at the usual hour of the letters from the northern towns. The delay originated through some accident, and as discounters did not know 'What transactions they might be called upon to undertake great reluctance was shown to negotiate securities. The mercantile public were naturally "liens to provide themselves with plenty of ac commodation, in case higher rates should be asked, end the brokers could not be prevailed upon to negotiate the best short-dated paper at less than 9 per cent. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets daring the last few days there has been very little null:nation. The operations in tea have been on the most limited scale, while transactions in sugar, coffee, and rice have been restricted to immediate home requirements, at rather lower rates. In tallow however, there have been moderate transactions, at steady quotations, for both present and forward, delivery. A further sum of £26,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Syria, which left this morning for Bombay, took out £19,300 in gold, and £56,925 in silver; Making together £76,225. A call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the E gypt i an C ommerc i a l an d T ra di ng Comp any. The directors of the Landon and Northern Bank have made a call of £5 per share, with a view of carrying out the pending arrangements for the traflsfer of the business of the Leeds Banking Com pany to the London and Northern Bank. The paid. 11 1: , capital of the London and Northern Bank will thus be increased to £175,000. At the half yearly meeting togday Two O'CLOCK. of the Finan• cial Discou n t C ompany a di v i dend of 5 per cent for the past six months, baing equal to 10 per cent. per a nnum, was declared. The non -confirmation of rumours respecting more failures assisted to impart a firmer tone to the Eng lish Stock market, and for a short time a little buoyancy was perceptible. The improvement, wever, was of short duration, and Consols are a gain 878 88 for money, and 884-- for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 868 ; Exchequer Bills for March, 14a to 12s dis.; India per Cents., 1031 104 ; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 100 ; and the Bonds, 183. dis. The Foreign St oc k M arket opened with a rather more buoyant appearance, bat a partial relapse has since occurred. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 69 ! 704 ; do. Consolides, 501 ; M ex i can , 27 ; do. N ew, 251 ; Greek, 23 ; Epanisla Passive, 301 ; do. Certificates, 13i I ; and the Confederate Loan, 73 75. Business in the Railway Share Market has not been very active, although prices in several instances have slightly improved. Midland have advanced lod, North Western 10s, Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s, and Great Western 10s; Great Eastern, how.. e ver, have receded ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue without material change. For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a moderate inquiry. Alliance have advanced to 45 6 ; Imperial to 32 3 ; Metropolitan and Pro. Ninoial to 19; Imperial Mercantile Credit to 71; and L o ndon Fina nc i a l to 218.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE TUENHANI. This bankrupt was described as of the Edgware-road, licensed victualler. The matter came before his honour on reference from the registrar, as to the effect of w deed of composition which had been duly registered, and to a cer tain extent acted upon, but it was subsequently disputed, and an adjudication in bankruptcy was made, under which some of the creditors who had signed the deed sought to prove their debts. Mr. Reed now con'ended that the deed did not represent the whole of the creditors either in number or value, as several debts had been omitted, under these circumstances the deed was invalid and inoperative. Mr Curtis urged, on the contrary, all the requirements of the act had been complied with, and the time had now gone by to dispute it. Mr Reed proposed to call the bankrupt and examine him as to the amount of credit, but His Honour ultimately acjourned the case. IN RE CIIAPPELL. This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Tho debts are stated at about £1,500, and the bankrupt attributes his failure to that of a person named Lockwood of the Edgware-road. Mr Treherne (Treherne and Wollerston) appeared for the assignees, and asked for an adjournment for a month to effect an arrangement with the creditors, who consented. Adjourned accordingly, MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay ' £4 Os to £5 lOs ; clover, £5 03 to £6 108 ; and str aw , £1 88 to £1 123 per load, Trade slow.

POST ()FPI= ROBBERY.-..WilliaM Edward Ducrow, a leter-carrier attaohed to the West Central District Office, 126, High Holborn, was charged with stealing a letter, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster General. Mr Gardiner, one of the senior clerks in the Post-office, said—The prisoner was one of the letter carriers employed at the Branch Post-office, 126, High Holborn. In consequence of the numerous losses of letters from that station, be was directed to test the honesty of persons engaged there. Ho according'y enclosed 57 penny postage stamps in an envelope, directed it, " Mr. Burns, 10, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury," and handed it to Mr Clare to post. Witness went to the West Central District Post-office about 4 o'clock the same afternoon, and the prisoner was brought into a private room and informed that a letter containing postage stamps was missing, addressed as above. He denied all knowledge of the letter, but on being searched by the officer a leather purse was taken from one of his pockets, in which was found 57 postage stamps. On the prisoner being questioned as to how he came into possession of the stamps, he said he had purchased them on Saturday afternoon of a friend in the street. Tho stamps were those he (witness) enclosed in the test letter yesterday. Mr Willis Clare, inspector of letter carriers, said he posted the letter in question yesterday in the early part of the day at the West Central Office in High Holborn, calling the attention of Mr Cook to the circumstance. Mr Thomas Cook, inspector of letter—carriers, at the West Central District, said in consequence of what he heard from Mr Clare, he went to the letter-box at the office and took a letter addressed to Mr Burns, 10, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, from the box, He afterwards placed it amongst those to be delivered by the prisoner, although the letter was not properly in his own delivery. He ought to have placed it aside in order that it might be delivered to the letter-carrier in whose delivery Great Russell-street was included, He did not do so. The prisoner had been in the service of the Post-office four or five years, and re ceived a salary of 24s per week. Crocker, the constable attached to the West Central Pest-office, said ho searched the prisoner and found the property produced in a purse in one of his pockets. The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully committed for trial. The solicitor to the post-office, in answer to the magis trate, said the prisoner was about 24 years of age. There was a silver watch, and about 18s. found on his person, and as they had no reason to suspect that they formed any por tion of a robbery, he hoped they might be delivered to the prisoner's wife, the poor woman being very near her con finement. Mr Flower said there would be no objection to such a course. MARLBOROUCIII-STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBINCk OF CELILDREN —COMMITTAL.— Elizabeth Smith, about 18 years of age, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with robbing several children, between the ages of six and nine years, of their clothing, &c. A nuccber of children who had been robbed were in attendance. In the first case the prisoner stopped a child named Eliza Smith, who with her parents reside at No. 8, Berwick-street, St. James's, and asked her to hold a purse for her while she fastened her dress. The child did as requested, and then the prisoner asked her what she had in her hand. The child showed the prisoner 16s 3d, which she was on the way home with to her father, and the prisoner, under the pretence of wrapping the money up in paper for the child, took the money from her and then handed the parcel back to the child, who, after the prisoner had left, opened it and found it to con ain only three penny pieces. The child subsequently seeing the prisoner in the streets spoke to a person, who detained the prisoner till she was taken into custody. In the second case the prisoner accosted a little girl named Elizabeth Ives, residing with her parents at No, 3, Caven dish-mews, telling her that she would drop a bundle con taining some sheet and other articles if she was not careful, The prisoner then offered to carry the bundle for the child, which offer was accepted, and the prisoner under some pretence got away with th 3 bundle. In the third case a little girl, named Elizabeth Goldby, residing in Peter-street, St, James's, was stopped by the prisoner on her leaving a grocer's with some tea and sugar. The prisoner took the tea and sugar, and some change from the child, and then told her that if she would lot hor take off her boots and jacket she would go and buy her a new pair of white boots: The prisoner then took the child into a pawnbroker's and there left her, promising to return, which, of course, she did not. Police constable Castle, 69 C, said there were several other charges against the prisoner. Mr Tyrwhitt said he consider.d the three charges already preferred sufficient, and, after cautioning the prisoner, asked her whether she wished to say anything in answer to the charges ? The prisoner said she had robbed one of the children, but not the others. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. A SHAMEFUL CHARGE OF FELONY.--Patrick Marler, James Quinland, and John Dowd, three young men who get their living by hard work, were placed in the felon's dock charged with stealing a watch and chain, value £9, the property of James M'Donald. Prosecutor said that on Sunday afternoon he went to visit his mother-in-law, at 7, Fulham-bridge-yard, Knights bridge, and remained there till between 11 and 12 at night. Towards the latter part of that time a quarrel arose between himself and brother-in-law, and they had a fight or scuffle. When it was over, and prosecutor (who had gone away) sent for his coar, waistcoat, and watch, which he had before the fight thrown upon the bed, ho missed his watch and chain. The three prisoners had come into the room to separate the parties in the fight, and they wore given into custody for the robbery. In crose-examination by Mr Smyth, solicitor for the pri soners, prosecutor admitted that he had been drinking freely, and gave so confused and unsatisfactory account of the whole transaction that no dependence could be placed upon his testimony, and he was ordered to stand out of the witness-box. Prosecutor's mother-in-law and wife were called, but did not carry the case a bit further against the acoused. Their evidence, on the contrary, went to show that there were other persons in the room after the fight, and that prosecutor gave his brother-in-law into custody for the robbery on Sunday night, and afterwards charged the three prisoners, although he had himself, in cross-examination, expressed great doubt as to whether Dowd was even in the room from which the watch had been stolen. Prosecutor's brother-in-law was examined, but his evi dence did not in the slightest degree affect the prisoners, whom he said came in to separate them while fighting. Mr. Arnold—ls the watch and chain found? Pulice—No, your Worship, it is not. Mr. Arnold—ls there any further evidence against these men? Police—No, there is not. Mr. Arnold—There is not the slightest case agains them. They are discharged. THAMES. MY NEIGIIIIQUIt'S Sox,—BArtholomew M'Cabe, a strange looking man, about 25 years of age, who has given an immense deal of trouble to his own father and family, to the police, to his neighbours, and to the magistrates of this court in the course of the last seven years, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being on the premises of Joseph Porter, coal merchant, of No 2, Devonport-street, Ratcliff, for an unlawful purpose. The prosecutor said the prisoner was a neighbour's son. This morning between one and two o'clock he was knocked up by a police-constable, and he saw that the gate leading to his stables was open, and the prisoner in custody. He had repeatedly warned the prisoner off the premises. He had lost fowls, rope, harness, brass off his van, and other property after the prisoner's visits, but, as he was a neigh bour's son, he did not take any legal proceedings against William Bean, a police-constable, 166 K, said that at half-past ono o'clock that morning he saw the prosecutor's gate open am] the chain undone. He turned on his light, and saw the prisoner coming from the stable. The pri soner, who had been drinking a little, threw himself on the ground, and said he had only just come into the place. The prisoner had been in custody repeatedly for robbing his father, a tradesman in Devonport-street, and was last con victed for a burglary and robbery in his father's premises, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard la bour. Mr Paget—How long has ho been out of prison ? Witness— About six months. The prisoner said ho only came out of the workhouse yesterday (Monday) morning, and he :went to Mr Porter's premises to have a lay down• Mr Porter was a relation. Mr Paget—What relation ? Prisoner—His wit ;'s husband's brother married his daughter, (Laughter.) A. sad history was given of the prisoner's career in his parents' home, and Mr Paget, believing that ho went to Mr Porter's premises for a felonious purpose, sentenced him to three months' impzisonment snd hard labour. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 31 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 10/(1. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 3-ICths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advim from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 staling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefc re, about 3-I.Als per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 0 days' sight is quoted 278 to 280 per cent., and the pre mium on gold 157 to isBi per cent. Go:d still continues to be imported in very moderate quantities. A general meeting of shareholders of the Bank of British Columbia took place yesterday. The report presented for adoption stated that the amount of undiiided profit at the conclusion of the half year ending 30th June last, was £11,105 16s 6d. Out of this sum the directors propose to appropriate £5,000 to paying a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income tax; to add £4,000 to the Reserve Tend, which is thereby increased to £6,000; and to carry forward £2,105 163 61 to the current year. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- WrsTEnzi RAILWAY. —Yesterday (Monday) much anxiety was caused in Liverpool in consequence of a rumour that an accident of a very alarming nature had occurred to the London express, due in Liverpool at 12.30 p.m. On making inquiries, however, we learned that the express train ran off the line near Weedon, but, beyond a fright, none of the passengers were injured. In consequence of this mishap there was a delay of between two or three hours in the de livery of the mid-day mails. COST OF THE AMERICAN WAR.—The New York World reckons the coat of the present war thus :—Expen diture on army and navy, 3,000,000,600 dole , bcunties paid by States and towns, 450,090,000 dole ; loss for life of the labour of the killed and maimed, 2,000,000,000 dole ; loss of three years' labour of other soldiers, 8,000,000,000 dole ; property destroyed on the ocean, 300,000,0 00 dole; loss o profits of commerce, 700,000,000 dole ; property destroyed on land, 2,000,000,000 dole ; pensions to wounded and widows for life, 400,000,000 dole —making a total of 15,050,C00,003. DENMARK DESERTED BY ENGLAND —NOT BY WALES I.—The Prince and Pt it:loess of Wales, says the London Rev:cw, continue to be received with the greatest warmth, and even enth us i asm, w h ene ver they appear in public in Denmark. Alth ough the i r v i s it is a strictly pri vete one, and has n o p o li t i cal significat i on , it is impossible not to attach some mean i ng to the popu lar greeting by which they have b een we l comed, It i n di ca tes, no doubt, principally, the pe rsona l Popularity of the r eigning family, but it also shows that the Danes still cling to their indepen dent national existence, and are by no means inolined to submit to absorption by the other Scandinavian kingdom. Had any disposition of this kind existed, it must have made inelf felt on an occ as i on of this kind, in coo l ae sa and indif- 1 ference to the joys an d sorrows of the ro y a l household. That the people still sympathise heart il y w ith their King and his childeen, notwithstandin g t h e m isfortunes of the country, is a sign:th a t th ere is no waver ing in their ails-. giance to Christian IX — no inclinaiion to c ast on the mo narch the blame of r everses which he h as been powerless to avert. For Englishm en, the most i n t er esting incident of the visit is one which occurred on the arrival of the royal party at Bernsdorff. In reply to the welcome which they met, the King assured hi s subjects that his daughter's heart was one with th e i rs, and that it had felt and bled for all their sorrows. Thi s is, of conrse, nothing more than might have been expected, an d, had his Majesty s topped there, his speech would have excited little attention. Ho went on, h oweve r, to say that the Prince of Wales shared the feelings of his wife, and that ho too sympathised with Denmark under the grievous wrongs to which she has been subjected. We cannot avoid m acce pting as perfectly auth ent i c a s tatement so publicly in the presence of the P r i nce of Wales. It amounts, i n deed, to no more than we believed before ; but at the same time it is satisfactory to know, on unexceptionable autho rity, that the heir-apparent to the throne thinks and feels like the great body of his countrymen, and that he at any rate is not drawn by any German connections into predilec tions at variance with those of the English people. The King's announcement, which was no doubt made with tie consent of his Royal Highness, naturally excited an en thusiastic response ; and, whatever resentment may still be entertained towards Great Britain for the part she has played in recent events, no p ortion of it will hen ceforth be v i s ited upon the Prince of Wales. ANTIQUARI AN DIGGINGS IN ABERD EE NSIIIRE. containing were r — eCo r r h d e th il e result be of twoieCnJournal diggings which olirnalsays: have Wjust o have to been made only a quantity situated in this county, The first was carried o ut on the 13th nt a he found, second, a eist wa s instant in several cairns on the estate of Rothie, belonging to Colonel Forbes Lesl ie. Two of thecairns on a piece of rough wh inn y ground on t he farm of Blind. well. They were low c ircular structures of no great size. In the firstf calcined found which contained an urn with portions of bones and fragments of a curious j et necklace. A simi lar cairn on the o a s mall c b i o s n t es w . as I fo same slope was recently opened and found to contain A large urn in the centre. The urn contained a quantity of bones. The third cairn now opened was in the middle of a cultivated field, and it appeared to have been surrounded by a row of large boulders, and to have had a raised inner circular platform, Nothing was discovered beyond a deposit in the latter space, of which fragments of bones and burned matter only remained. A. cairn similar in its arrangement to the last was placed on the adjoining farm of Burreldalee, and was recently removed. It was examined by Mr Chalmers, who has described the results in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland. Some vestiges of Druidical circles occur in the neighbourhood, as well as traces of the but circles of the people, who had selected the dry slopes of those now fertile braes as the site fur their abode, as well as of their final resting places, It would appear that some of the bodies in the cairns had been burned, and others not ; while some of the bones appeared to be these of the lower animals. The second dining took place on the 14th instant in a remark able cairn on the farm of Warrackstone, in the parish of Tullynessle. It was a flit circular structure, surrounded with big stones in the foundation, depressed towards the centre, and having, raised all round, a ridge towards the circumference. In this ridge, at different places, four cists were discovered, formed of large slabs. In most of them urns were found. At two spots on the south side large runs, inverted, containing incinerated bones, were found, without cists, in holes formed in the stones and subsoil; and at two other spots higher up in the cairn, small cavities of irregular form were noticed, is which were bones which did not seem to have been burned. In the centre of the cairn, deposits of burned matter, Containing bones, were found. One of the large urns was decorated with a pro jecting zig-zag band, in great relief with other patterns commonly found on cinerary urns," A Strange Fish. Mr Francis, piscicultural director of the Acclimatisation Society, writes to the Times, intimating the arrival of that remarkable and valuable fish the silurus glanis in England as a fact worthy of being made known to the public:— "It is more than 100 years (he says) since any new fish has been acclimatised in England, and a very much longer period since any fish of equal value has been brought into this country to be acclimatised; indeed, it is a question whether any animal since perhaps the introduction of the turkey has been brought here likely to equal the silurus in importance. Ono of the greatest wants hitherto felt in this country has been a good lake fish that might be turned to account, in order that the huge waste of water with which our islands abound might be properly stocked and employ( d. This want the silurus seems likely to meet; indeed ifis almost the only fish we could have procured which could meet it. Growing to an enormous size, even to 200'b. or 3001 b. in weight, where space and food are plentiful, it neverthless in ponds preserves its fine fl wour. It feeds ravenously upon the coarser kinds of fish, but of all food prefers frogs. We have undoubtedly vast quantities of frogs in this country, which are not used by us in any way as a meciium either of food or of producing food, and so rapid is the growth of the silurus that it has been known to reach the enormous weight ( f 54 b. in four years. "Its flesh somewhat resembles veal in appearance, and partakes of the rich flavour of the eel. All Englishmen who have partaken of it unite in averring that it is superior even to our own noble salmon. The above facts I have from Sir Stephen 'Lakeman, to whose enterprise, energy, and deter mination the introduction of the silurus is due. It need not be pointed out that if we can replace the worthless carp and roach with which our large sheets of water are infested with a fish of this character, the gain to us will be very great. Sir Stephen Lakeman brought these fish ft om [Co pacheni, where he has an estate on the banks of the Argisch, which is a tributary of the Danube, and is about ten miles from Bucharest—a distance of 1,800 miles. The labour of transporting them hither was enormous. He started from Kopecheni on the 23d of Augue, and brought these fish by Bucharest to Girgevo, a distance of 50 miles; thence by steamer to Basias (in Transylvania), and by rail to Pesth, Vienna, Nuremberg, Cologne, Brussels, and Boulogne to London, and thence to Twickenham. Many times his charge was upon the point of being shipwrecked, but was saved by his indomitatle energy and perseverance. To combat the carelessness, and in somo places even the positive disfavour of railway officials, incessant attention was required. He started with 36 silurus and some tiger eels—a remarkable and valuable fish peculiar to the Danube. Some of the siluruses were cf large size, up to 6lbs ; they were conveyed in casks about the size of quarter casks placed upon rockers; these, by keeping the casks constantly in motion, plashed and aerated the water. The larger fish were suspected, no doubt with justice, of having eaten the smaller ones, and with them the tiger eels. They all died, however, but 14, which arrived here safely on the night of Thursday, the 15th, in the charge of Sir Stephen and my friend Mr Lowe, one of the secretaries of the Acclimatisation Society. The little strangers varied from one t ) two ozs. in weight; they were perfectly healthy and lively, and after their long fast of 23 days they made good use of their time when enlarged, as on the next day, when I examined them, their stomachs were distended with food. "They have now been in my charge a week, and are ex ceedingly healthy and vigorous. They are a peculiar fish, resembling in their habits the burbot, which I have also hal charge of here, They hide themselves by day and roam about for food at night. I have no doubt that the attempt to introduce them will be thoroughly successful.

The Constitutionnel, which is said in Paris to be not so much a journal as a Pythoness. has delivered an oracular utterance, and its utterance happens to be perfectly intelligible. The terms of the agreement are made known. The Pope is to retain his present territory, and the Italian Government undertakes, not only not to invade it, but to oppose any force that may seek to invade it. It gives, in fact, a guarantee against the action of the revolutionary party in Italy, and it pledges itself that, even if Garibaldi is at the head of the invading forces, there shall be another Aspromonte. Further, Italy engages to become responsible for a portion of the debt of the Papal States, answering to the value of the Papal territory which has fallen into her hands. The Pope is to be allowed to raiee as large an army as he pleases, and devout Frenchmen are to be per mitted like the rest of the faithful, to rush to the defence of the head of their religion. Lastly, the Italian Government undertakes to fix the capital of united Italy at Florence, and thus to abandon, in principle, that selection of Rome as the only possible capital which Cavour brought his countrymen to accept as a political axiom. There can be no doubt that thEs is a compromise which hard necessity has gradually induced the Italians to listen to, It is very ago. different from the programme held out a year o r t wo Then the Italian Parliament was to meet und er the shadow of the Capitol, the reign of priests was to be over , an d t h e Pope was to wander in his luxurious gardens ruins,surveying with a gentle and wondering patience thenot only of Imperial, but of Pontifical Rome. It was sup. posed that the Pope would be, in the Vatican, very much what the Archbishop of Canterbury is at Lambeth. The English Primate has a fine old house, and a g and shady antique gard ens ; h e is honouredood library, by h servants and the clergy ; h o i s we l comed in the palace of his Sovereign, he heads th e p roc l amat i ons of religious societies, but if he wants to know where real power lies, he must look across the river to the gilded towers of the Houses of Parlia ment. This was the dream of Italian patriots, perhaps of Cavour, possibly even of the Emperor himself. Bat Catho licism has been too strong for the accomplishment of such a scheme. The great world of Roman faith will not tolerate that its head should sink into the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It insists that the Pope shall not be merely a spiritual chic', but shall have a visible and temporal sovereignty, DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND —AT WHIST. The late Cabinet of Lord Derby contained some good players, Two of the Secretaries of State were actually fine players, and one of them adds whist to accomplishments which would have made their possessor an Admirable Crichton, if genius had not elevated him into a far loftier category than Crichton belongs to. Rechberg plays well, and likes his game ; but he is in whist, as are all Germans, a thorough pedant. I remember an incident of his whist life sufficiently amusing in its way, though, in relation, the reader loses what to myself is certainly the whole pungency of the story : I mean the character and nature of the per son who imparted the anecdote to me, and who is about the most perfect specimen of that self-possession, which we call coolness, the age we live in can boast of. I own that, in a very varied and somewhat extensive experience of men in many countries, I never met one who so completely fulfilled all the requisites of temper, manner, face, courage, and self-reliance, which make of a human being the most un abashable and unemotional creature that walks the earth. I tell the story as nearly as I can he related it to me. "I used to play a good deal with Rechberg," said he, " and took pleasure in worrying him, fur ho was a great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by an authority. In fact, each game was followed by a discussion of full half an hour, to the intense mortifi cation of the other players, though very amusing to me, and offering me large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian. One evening, after a number of these discussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irritability, I found myself opposed to him in a game, the interest of which had drawn around us a large assem bly of Fpectators—what the French designate as la galarie Towards the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and I played a card which so astounded the Austrian Mini ster, that he laid down h s cards upon tho table and stared fixedly at me. "In all my experience of whist," said he de liberately, " I never saw the equal of that." "Of what ?" asked I. "Of the card you have just played," rejoined ho. "It is not merely that such play violates every principle of the game, but it actually stultifies your own combinations." "I think differently, Count," said I. "I maintain that it is good play, and I abide by it." " Let us decide it by a wager," said he. "In what way ?" " Thus—we shall leave the question to the galerie. You shall allege what you deem to be the reasons for your play, and they shall decide if they accept them as valid." "I agree. What will you bet ?" " Ten napoleons —twenty, fifty, five hundred if you like I" cried he, warmly. "I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don't want to punish you too heavily.' " There is the jury, sir." said he, haughtily, "make your case." "The wager is this," said I, " that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had a seal ' cient and good reason." " Yes." "My reason was this, then--1 looked into your hand 1" I pocketed his ten nape. leons, but they were the last I won of him, Indeed, it took a month before he got over the shock. — oo ntlius 0' _Dowd. S PORTING INTELLIGENCE, PARIS AUTUMN RACE S.-SUNDAY. A cloudy morning yesterday was succeeded by a most lovely afternoon, gladdened by the genial warmth of a delightful autumn sun; and a considerable number of persons were on the ground, the Emperor and Prince Imperial being among the company. With the exception of the Prix du Prince Imperial, which gave Vermouth and Fille da l'Air an oppartunity of once more meeting on equal terms, the business of the day was without interest and the fields small. The first event on the card was the Prix Principal, which brought out only three runners, Guillaume le Taciturno being made favourite at evene. Beatrix, however, with an advantage of 271 b for one year in age, had the race to herself, and ran over the two miles and a half in front, and won easily. The selling race which came rest was decided in fav_ur of M, Aumont's Dame Blanche by a neck, after a good contest over the last quarter of a mile with Mdlle. Duchesnois. The winner was taken by M. Desvignes for 4,025 f., being 1,625 t. ‘,ver the price at which she might have been had. The P: ix de Madrid, for horses which had not run on any of the prin cipal courses in France during the present year, was an easy victory for M. Lupin's B irtavelle, who in this race made her first appearance in publio. The Prix du Prince Imperial followed, for which Vermouth found plenty of backers at 7to 4. The crack was, however, bowled over by the Oaks' winner, who took up the running just when she pleased, and won with pounds in hand. The two have now ran together four times, each having scored two vic tories. The business terminated with the Prix d'Automne, for which four came to the post, and which fell to the lot of Count de Lagrange with la Reine Berthe, being the third prize carried off by his stable during the day. The follow ing are details of the proceedings : The Prix Principal of 4,000 f, for horses 3-yrs-old and upwards. Entry, i2oof, h f; the second to receive half the entries.

The three others ran abreast to the corner, where Sccevola parted company, and Reine-Borthe and Obligation raced home together, the former winning by a short length. THE NOSES OF BROUGHAM, NAPIER, CRUIK SHANKS, DICKENS, AND THACKERAY. Lord Brougham's eminent nose is perhaps the best known of any in this generation. Innumerable caricatures have made it celebrated everywhere. It is slightly bent upwards, and has a defiant and combative expression ; but its end is decided;y cogitative, its nostrils wide and full of character. To its partly turned up style no doubt his lordship owes that in iatiable industry and curiosity which has made him explore all science, and has rendered him eminent in law, politics, and literature; to its cogitative character, that boldness of thought, and noble defiance of oppressicn and wrong, and that far-seeing depth, which ho has every exercised happily for the benefit of humanity. It is a nose far above par. Perhaps the most obtrusively aquiline nose that ever was seen was that of the conqueror of Sonde, the late Sir Chas. Napier. The organ itself was prodigious; it was a Squire of-the-Wood's nose, one not really seen in a life time else where, and the energy which accompanied it was as prodi gious. But the nose was far from Jewish. It was aquiline, not pendulous, thin at the end, and fine and thin in the nos tril. George Cruikshank, the artist, who bore some simila rity to the general, has also a fine aquiline no s e ; and it is curious that in the Indian army Napier used to bear the sobriquet of " 011 Fagin," whilst Cruikshank, who illus trated Dickens's fiction so adrairably, copied the face of the Jew from his own, sitting before a glass for the first study of those etchings which, embodying the idea of the author. made the first issue of " Oliver Twist" so popular and so highly prized. Charles Dickens, when young, may be cited is the possessor of an aquiline nose. Dickens's has grown to be somewhat more than it was in Maclise'e portrait, and is now to be classed as cogitative. Of his late rival's•nose wo would say little : it has been the cause trterriina Belli. —.About in the World. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICE SERGEANT. — On Sunday morning last an atrocious attempt to murder Police - sergeant Danby, of the Lincoln county constabulary, was made by a man named Wm. Wilson, a shoemaker. It appears that at an early hour in the morning Danby was on duty in the village of Saxilby, near Lincoln, and when near the houro of a man named Harrison thought he Few a man in the garden lying down. He went to the spot and found it was Wilson, an unusually powerful fellow. The officer, suspecting all was not right, at once seized him, and they had a tremendous scuifb, both of them falling to the ground ; but Wilson, being the strongest, was uppermost. Cho fellow then battered the officer about the head, and struck him violently several times with his fist until he was nearly choked with his own blood. Wilson then put his hand in his pocket and took out an ordinary clasp knife, which he deliberately opened, Danby being so exhausted that he had no power to prevent it. Danby, however, said, "Pray, don't use that ; for God's sake put it by." And after some hesitation he shut the knife again and put it in his pocket. A short time afterwards, however, he again took the knife out and commenced to cut and slash at the officer, saying he would do fcr him. lie cut completely through the great coat and stock, making altogether five wounds, one of which was an inch deep and an inch and a half wide, the jugular vein being just missed. When the prisoner inflicted this wound ho actually wriggled the knife about, causing excruciating pain. Wilson then got up and made (If, but Danby followed and caught him, and another struggle took place. The noise, however, aroused Mr Har rison, who opened his beerosm window and saw what was taking place, and shouted out to the fellow to desist, when he at once ran away. The officer went home, and two me dical men were soon in attendance —they dressed the wounds, and expressed an opinion that, providing erysipelas does not set in, Danby will recover. The same morning Wilson was apprehended, and it was asoertained that he and two other men also in custody had during the night stolen some fowls belonging to Mr Drury, farmer. On Monday they were taken before Colonel Ellison—Wilson on the charges of attempted murder and fowl stealing, and the other two for fowl stealing alone, and were remanded until Friday next. CANNIB kLISM IN AUSTRALIA. —A Brisbane paper, the North Australian, says—Sergeant Hill, who has just arrived on escort from Maryborough, has made some strange revelations to us, which illustrate the amiable pro pensities of the aborigines of this country. He happened to visit a paddock on the outskirts of Mar)borough some short time since, in company with Mr Carrington, clerk of petty sessions. Some 400 of the natives had enc untered a party of the Miall tribe in their customary mode of warfare. Our informant states that on the occasion of his visit they were celebrating the victory of the day before by broiling the carcase of a defunct Miall, who had met with the severe misfortune of having anative spear driven through his heart. The cannibals like their meat underdone. They are dainty epicures. The deceased wretch was disembowelled in the first place and his entrails placed in a dilly bag, which was immediately shouldered by a native hag. A fire was then kindled, and the body was thrown thereon. After frizzling for a few minutes a common descent was made upon it—a cannibal scramble in fact. The carcase was severed into 50 parts, and in its raw condition was devoured without the slightest affectation or sympathy, nausea, shame, or indig nation. The bones were picked very clean, and the result was a splendid skeleton. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. NEWMARKET RACES—Tnis DAY.
